We just had to go and add alcohol and crockpots to the mix with crockpot spiked hot chocolate recipes. That makes them almost mandatory for the season. Crockpot spiked hot chocolate recipes help make classic hot chocolate recipes even better.

There is nothing better on a chilly day than a warm cup of hot chocolate. The creaminess of the chocolate and the heat make for an ideal winter drink.  But that is the end-all to the story of hot chocolate.

We always want to find ways to improve something or make it unique. That is why we simply couldn’t stop at hot chocolate. What is the one thing missing from hot chocolate? Alcohol, the answer is booze, and it has always been booze.

Crockpots help make some of the best hot chocolate. You can pretty much just throw some milk, your favorite chocolate, and some sweetener in your crockpot, set it, and enjoy a creamy cup of hot chocolate.

You could also simply make a packet of hot chocolate, pour some alcohol into it, and call it spiked. But you want to make sure you do this right; after all, the flavor is important when mixing alcohol with other classic drinks.

Crockpot spiked hot chocolate recipes are the best way to enjoy a chilly day the right way.

Milk or Water

Another common debate among hot chocolate lovers is whether milk or water. Milk leads to a creamier option but can go awry fairly quickly. The last thing you want is a chunky glass of hot chocolate.

The question is, what works best when making crockpot spiked hot chocolate recipes? Many of these recipes call for milk instead of water. This will help keep the alcohol content where you want it but also lead to a creamier experience.

Choosing The Booze

Booze is especially important when making crockpot spiked hot chocolate recipes. In fact, you can’t simply grab whatever alcohol you have on hand and pour it into a crockpot with chocolate and milk and call it a success.

Flavor is still particularly important here. Red wine, bourbon, and rum all go well with milk or dark chocolate, and gin and tequila work well with white chocolate.
